Imperial Remnant and HQ uplink, Comms Relay, Comms Jammer

[RedBillyOne]

Hi,

Some questions about the Imperial Remnant battle force and communications upgrade cards.

1. Is it possible to use "HQ Uplink" in an "Imperial Remnant" battle force to give an order to ourselves, even if we are more than range 2 from the commander? Knowing that it is not the commander who gives an order, this seems possible, doesn't it?
2. Is it possible to use "Comms relay" to give an order to a friendly unit at range 1-2 even if we are more than range 2 from the commander ?
3. Question Not specific to imperial remnant : If an emplacement trooper use "Comms Jammer" (blue player), and an enemy trooper unit is in range 1 (red player). This is the last order token in the draw of the red player and this is a trooper unit. What happens ? Can't the red player play his order and the round is over?

Thank for your help.

In the Imperial Remnant Battle Force, the nominated Commander can only issue orders at range 1-2. The HQ Uplink upgrade card allows the equipped unit to issue itself an order when exhausted. This may occur regardless of where the nominated Commander may be.

Yes, for widely the same reasons. An order issue using the Comms Relay upgrade card is being issued by the unit with Comms Relay equipped; any range restrictions on the nominated commander as a result of the battle force special rules will not affect the text or effects of the Comms Relay upgrade card.

The Comms Jammer upgrade card prevents an enemy unit from being issued orders when at range 1 of the equipped unit. Orders are (predominantly) issued during the Command Phase by your nominated commander and some other game effects such as the Comms cards mentioned above, which give the unit a face-up order token so that they may be activated at the time of the controlling player's choosing during the Activation Phase. A unit whose token is drawn from the order pool during the Activation Phase is not issued an order and does not receive a face-up order token. In your example, the red player's trooper unit will not be affected by the Comms Jammer upgrade as they are not being issued an order; they may activate as normal when drawn.

Hope this helps,
